What the world needs more of

For an industry who would tell you it's all about creativity, how is it that the crap coming out of Hollywood looks all so familiar.

Just the other day, I was telling the Lovely Mrs. Gekko "You know what we need for entertainment? More vampire movies, books, TV series, cooking shows, etc.? Really, there just are not enough vampires in our culture today.

This next season, I expect the Home and Garden Channel to do one of those shows were they show a recently married vampire couple several homes with varying price ranges and amenities.

Or the Golf Channel will have a show hosted by Anthony Anderson where vampires play night golf on the world's most beautiful golf courses.

Or Fox News will manage to find the only hot, busty, tanned, blonde vampire news anchor who will do the third shift news updates. MSNBC will respond with the vegan, pasty ones.

MTV will do a vampire reality show where the losers have to suck the blood out of Snooki and risk an HIV infection or else leave the house.

The Home Shopping network will do a show where you can buy all the cosmetics you need to give you the pasty, flushed look you'll need when you go out clubbing.

How is it that an ordinary accountant with no creative ability can come up with these ideas where our creative network types cannot.

Oh........ you mean they have? And they're all scheduled up for the fall?

Nevermind..........
